Greeley man sentenced to 20 years in child porn case

A registered sex offender is going back to jail — this time for 20 years — after police found more than 300 photos and more than 30 videos of child pornography on his computer.

Mark Moreno, 58, was sentenced recently to 20 years in the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to four counts of sexual exploitation of a child, according to a news release from the Weld County District Attorney's Office.

Moreno's sentence stems from a Dec. 21, 2016, tip from an acquaintance of Moreno's who had borrowed his computer to download movies, according to the release.

During the investigation, detectives found more than 300 nude photos of boys and girls and more than 30 pornographic videos. The children appeared to be between 3-15 years old, according to the release.

Moreno was arrested in early 2017, and was already a registered sex offender with the Greeley Police Department, according to the release.
